Deep Roots Festival

On Saturday, I worked with Dawn at the Deep Roots Festival to promote Digital Bridges. It was an absolutely beautiful day for people to come out and enjoy down town Milledgeville. We set up the tables outside that were playing the new promotional video for Digital Bridges. All of the important people are on the video. The footage of the student and I is great! He looks so cute working the Dynavox, and the video footage really shows what I am doing and working on with this project. By the end of the day, Dawn and I were quite tired of listening to the video, but either one of us can do a great rendition of it, if anyone ever wants to hear what the video says. I thought it was a great idea to have us set up in front of the new home of Digital Bridges. That way people can know what the building is going to become in the future, and people can begin to put the name Digital Bridges with the place where it is going to be. We had a ton of candy set up outside for people to eat and enjoy. We also gave away bookmarks and asked people if they wanted to sign up for the email newsletter listing. I do think it is a great idea that only the ideas that people want to know about will be sent to them without other information that does not pertain to their individual wants. The crowds were really good for the festival overall, but the traffic near our table and store was low. This was because people are there to have fun and eat food. Learning about a new business was not people's first priority at Deep Roots. A lot of the people there were also parents of college students who are not from the Milledgeville area. Over all, I was very glad to have the opportunity to talk about Digital Bridges, represent the organization, and be a part of the Deep Roots festival.
